Objective:To study the effects of TNF? converting enzyme(TACE)inhibitors on TNF? secretion and develop an approach to interfere inflammation processes.Methods:(1)Stimulate the HL-60 cell lines in vitro with LPS for different time to establish the cellular model of inflammation and simultaneously induce in vivo inflammatoin animal model by LPS.(2)Check the cytotoxic effects of TNF? secretion using MTT colorimetric method for cell proliferaton.(3)Detect the level of expression of TACE carrying out RT-PCR,FCM techniques and immuno-histochemical dying technique.Results:(1)PDQ had the inhibitive effect on TNF?mRNA expression induced by LPS stimulation( P

The effects of inhibitors of TNF alpha converting enzyme (TACE) on TNF alpha secretion were studied to develop an approach to interfere inflammation processes. The HL-60 cell lines were stimulated in vitro with LPS intravenously for different time to establish the cellular model of inflammation and simultaneously induce in vivo inflammation animal model by LPS The cytotoxic effects of soluble TNF alpha were checked using MTT colorimetric method to determine the rate of cell proliferation. The level of expression of TACE was detected by using RT-PCR, FCM and immuno-histochemical technique respectively. It was found Chinese medicine Reduqing (RDQ) could inhibit the transcription of TNF alpha mRNA induced by LPS stimulation (P < 0.01, compared with the control). The antioligodeoxyribonucleotide (anti-ODN) of TNF alpha mRNA could inhibit 78.9% of TNF alpha secretion. The mimic peptides of TACE substrates with hydroxamine group showed potency in vivo and in vitro against converting of pro-TNF alpha. It was concluded that all the three types of TACE inhibitors can regulate the expression of TACE at different levels and inhibit sTNF alpha secretion, indicating TACE is a novel target for inflammation therapy.
